Note 1.Thus when a barber and a collier fight,The barber beats the luckless collierwhite;The dusty collier heaves his ponderous sack,And big with vengeance beats the barberblack.In comes the brick-dust man, with grime oerspread,And beats the collier and the barberred:Black, red, and white in various clouds are tost,And in the dust they raise the combatants are lost.Christopher Smart: The Trip to Cambridge (on Campbells Specimens of the British Poets, vol. vi. p. 185).
